Reviews for "Dragon Slayer"

Not the worst House of Dead Ninja clone out there. Its alright... I thought it was slow and not having an aerial attack was a let down- just a stomp and attack was cheap in a way. the magic attack was alright but there was really nothing that made me want to keep going after my third try. Jumps were ineffective trying to get over the spikes, the lighting effects were pointless and took away from the aesthetics, an no power ups or health limited my game enjoyment...

played for 5 hours straight, 'till 4am, to finally get to the 25th.
i heroically jump in the room to face the dragon and guess what ? i touched his wing or whatever and i died...thanks Obama

very smooth game play. graphics is a success. sound is superb .....this should be a daily winner

Good:
-Nice graphics
-Smooth controls - responsive, with no lag.
-Sound is good
-Mute options (though separate mutes for the music and sound effects would have been best.)
-Female protagonist (Yes, this is a pro. There aren't nearly enough.)

Needs Improvement:
-I have no idea what you're going for with the lighting variations, but it's honestly kind of annoying. It doesn't really add to the difficulty, but it does get distracting. Either use the darkness for something or give us a consistent light source.
-Gameplay gets a bit repetitive - try to vary the challenges and level design more. As is, there are only really two attacks, a handful of different enemies and some spikes. I don't think you even really need to slide. I'd like a bit sharper a difficulty curve, possibly with some powerups or occasional bosses or something - basically anything to give you a sense of progression.
-Is there any way to regain health? I know that the slow health weardown is part of the point, but I'd really like some health potions scattered about.
-A few medals wouldn't go awry.

All in all, a solid little platformer. There's room for improvement, but it was entertaining enough to be worth the time I played. 4 stars.

great game
excellent graphics and sound design
but the pointy stuff poping from the floor are a real damn pain. It's the only thing that was hurting me all the time.
